K-1 Grand PrixK-1 is a combat sport that combines stand up techniques from Muay Thai, Karate, Savate, San shou, Kickboxing and traditional Boxing to determine the single best stand-up fighter in the world (the "1").

Good to hear that they found a decent replacement but I'm still disappointed that JWP isn't fighting.

By the way, welcome to the forum MuayBueno! If you have any questions or need any help feel free to give me a shout.

Hey thanks man, My brother works for the company that is promoting it and he is saying everyone is confirmed to fight and he actually talked to Baxter Humby and Clifton Brown. Man, I don't think people understand the magnitude of this event. Just the fact that Yodsaenklai, the winner of Contender Asia which had over 200 millions viewers world wide, is fighting Malaipet is crazy. Although I told my brother that he should have fought Baukaw instead, I think that would have been a better fight. No one has seen a fight card stacked like this and hold true to the end except for JWP. He was telling me about the two chicks fighting are probably gonna get the most attention.

Right on bro, make sure you keep us posted if anything changes. Its cool to have someone on the "inside" if you know what I mean.

Make sure you check out the other threads here in the K-1 section. My main man MLS has been putting in mad work and has some awesome threads going. A few of us keep the K-1 talk live but we really need some more regulars.

Again, welcome and I hope you enjoy your stay on the forum. This forum really is the best one out there.

Cool Bro, I sure will, he tells me funny stories of how they are trying to get the crossover audience in the US to get them interested or the MMA fan base to watch a Muay Thai event, tougher than they thought. But check this out, they were going to make a viral video paroding Muay Thai with respect to Muay Thai. They were going to follow a guy (heavy set) going to work, walking in to the elevator with the elevator pack with a bunch of professionals in suit along with him. He walks to his cubicle and notices the coworkers were messing with his desk and then cowrkers start throwing papers wads at him and then he loses it. Just picture like the hulk, then it cuts into him tearing his suit off and underneath his is decked out in Muay Thai gear from the tape feet, shorts, arm and head bands and wrist taped up. Remember he is about 340lbs shirtless. And he goes ape shit, kicks the water cooler over, beats up a couple coworker, just complete mayhem. The it finally end with a shot of him going into the elevator it still packed with professionals and he still is in his Muat Thai get up. Then someone asks him "tough day" then he just punches him. The End. I was rolling on the floor laughing. Do you think you would watch that, I think it would be the biggest thing on youtube. I don't think they are going to do it because they don't want people to think its low budget or not serious. I do know they are pumping a lot money into the Fight and its really cool that the proceeds go to helping the kids in Jamaica giving new tools and technology.

It sounds to me like it was a stoner thought. Pass the story line to your friends and If I tell him there is a lot of movement from people saying it would help promote and funny, just maybe they will do it. I really want them to make it. I haven't told anyone about this and I am not sure if he will get in trouble. Oh well it was F ing funny.

I was checking out the website for this event and I think you have to order the event by the 16th. It says the order deadline is the 16th on the event poster so if you want to watch it here is the link again.
